At many points along that journey, white people became friends, teachers, or parts of other important relationships with me — relationships that, as time went by and microaggessions occurred, I increasingly realized needed to be navigated with a more contextual understanding of the racist system in which we were all partaking. As that awareness grew, so did my understanding of my friends, teachers, and acquaintances complicity in racism.

And as they were important to me, my attempts to share that understanding with them also increased. But I regularly came up against strong resistance. I also wonder how many bad ones I’ve lied to in the process. The conversation usually went something like this: 1.

If you’re a woman, queer, trans, and/or gender non-conforming, it’s probably not hard to imagine.
